Dental Emergencies
One type of dental emergency is a knocked-out tooth. If it's a permanent tooth, rinse it and place it back in the socket. Then immediately take your child to the dentist. |
Fillings
Teeth that have tooth decay must be repaired. Advances in dental materials and techniques provide new, effective ways to restore teeth. |
How to Tell if Your Child Needs Braces
Orthodontic treatment most commonly begins between ages 9 and 14 because kids in this age range have at least some permanent teeth and are still growing. |
Orthodontics/Braces for Children
Orthodontics is the dental specialty that focuses on the development, prevention, and correction of irregularities of the teeth, bite, and jaws. |
Sealants
Dental sealants are thin, plastic films painted on the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars. They are highly effective in preventing tooth decay. |
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Because most mouths are too small for the four additional molars called wisdom teeth, these teeth usually must be extracted. |
